Constance Eustace updated CASSANDRA-7062:
-----------------------------------------

    Description: 
CASSANDRA-6561 implemented static columns for a given partition key.

What this is proposing for a compound cluster key is a static column that is 
static at intermediate parts of a compound cluster key. This example shows a 
table modelling a moderately complex EAV pattern  :

{code}
CREATE TABLE t (
   entityID text,
   propertyName text,
   valueIndex text,
   entityName text static (entityID),
   propertyType text static (entityID, propertyName),
   propertyRelations List<text> static (entityID, propertyName),
   data text,
   PRIMARY KEY (entityID, (propertyName,valueIndex))
)
{code}
So in this example has the following static columns:
- the entityName column behaves exactly as CASSANDRA-6561 details, so all 
cluster rows have the same value
- the propertyType and propertyRelations columns are static with respect to the 
remaining parts of the cluster key (that is, across all valueIndex values for a 
given propertyName), so an update to those values for an entityID and a 
propertyName will be shared/constant by all the value rows...

Is this a relatively simple extension of the same mechanism in -6561, or is 
this a "whoa, you have no idea what you are proposing"?

Sample data:

Mary and Jane aren't married...
{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0001','MARY MATALIN','married','SingleValue','0','false');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0002','JANE JOHNSON','married','SingleValue','0','false');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex) 
VALUES ('0001','MARY MATALIN','kids','NOVALUE','');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex) 
VALUES ('0002','JANE JOHNSON','kids','NOVALUE','');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY MATALIN  married   SingleValue   0   false
0001 MARY MATALIN  kids         NOVALUE          null
0002 JANE JOHNSON  married   SingleValue   0   false
0002 JANE JOHNSON  kids         NOVALUE          null
{code}
Then mary and jane get married (so the entityName column that is static on the 
partition key is updated just like CASSANDRA-6561 )
{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0001','MARY SMITH','married','SingleValue','0','TRUE');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0002','JANE JONES','married','SingleValue','0','TRUE');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY SMITH  married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         NOVALUE          null
0002 JANE JONES   married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0002 JANE JONES   kids         NOVALUE          null
{code}
Then mary and jane have a kid, so we add another value to the kids attribute:
{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex,data) VALUES 
('0001','kids','SingleValue','0','JIM-BOB');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex,data) VALUES 
('0002','kids','SingleValue','0','JENNY');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY SMITH  married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         SingleValue        null
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         SingleValue   0   JIM-BOB
0002 JANE JONES   married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0002 JANE JONES   kids         SingleValue        null
0002 JANE JONES   kids         SingleValue   0   JENNY
{code}
Then Mary has ANOTHER kid, which demonstrates the partially static column 
relative to the cluster key, as ALL value rows for the property 'kids' get 
updated to the new value:
{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex,data) VALUES 
('0001','kids','MultiValue','1','HARRY');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY SMITH  married   SingleValue  0   TRUE
0001 MARY SMITH  kids      MultiValue          null
0001 MARY SMITH  kids      MultiValue     0   JIM-BOB
0001 MARY SMITH  kids      MultiValue     1   HARRY
0002 JANE JONES  married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0002 JANE JONES  kids      SingleValue        null
0002 JANE JONES  kids      SingleValue   0   JENNY
{code}

... ok, hopefully that example isn't TOO complicated. Yes, there's a stupid 
hack bug in there with the null/empty row for the kids attribute, but please 
bear with me on that 

Generally speaking, this will aid in flattening / denormalization of relational 
constructs into cassandra-friendly schemas. In the above example we are 
flattening a relational schema of three tables: entity, property, and value 
tables into a single sparse flattened denormalized compound table.

What this is proposing for a compound cluster key is a static column that is

   propertyRelations List<text> static (entityID, propertyName),
   data text,
   PRIMARY KEY (entityID, (propertyName,valueIndex))
)
{code}

Is this a relatively simple extension of the same mechanism in -6561, or is 
this a "whoa, you have no idea what you are proposing"?

{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0001','MARY MATALIN','married','SingleValue','0','false');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0002','JANE JOHNSON','married','SingleValue','0','false');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex) 
VALUES ('0001','MARY MATALIN','kids','NOVALUE','');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex) 
VALUES ('0002','JANE JOHNSON','kids','NOVALUE','');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY MATALIN  married   SingleValue   0   false
0001 MARY MATALIN  kids         NOVALUE          null
0002 JANE JOHNSON  married   SingleValue   0   false
0002 JANE JOHNSON  kids         NOVALUE          null
{code}
Then mary and jane get married (so the entityName column that is static on the 
partition key is updated just like CASSANDRA-6561 )
{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0001','MARY SMITH','married','SingleValue','0','TRUE');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, entityName, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex, 
data) VALUES ('0002','JANE JONES','married','SingleValue','0','TRUE');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY SMITH  married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         NOVALUE          null
0002 JANE JONES   married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0002 JANE JONES   kids         NOVALUE          null
{code}
Then mary and jane have a kid, so we add another value to the kids attribute:
{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex,data) VALUES 
('0001','kids','SingleValue','0','JIM-BOB');
INSERT INTO t (entityID, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex,data) VALUES 
('0002','kids','SingleValue','0','JENNY');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY SMITH  married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         SingleValue        null
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         SingleValue   0   JIM-BOB
0002 JANE JONES   married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0002 JANE JONES   kids         SingleValue        null
0002 JANE JONES   kids         SingleValue   0   JENNY
{code}
Then Mary has ANOTHER kid, which demonstrates the partially static column 
relative to the cluster key, as ALL value rows for the property 'kids' get 
updated to the new value:
{code}
INSERT INTO t (entityID, propertyName, propertyType, valueIndex,data) VALUES 
('0001','kids','MultiValue','1','HARRY');
{code}
{code}
SELECT * FROM t:

0001 MARY SMITH  married   SingleValue  0   TRUE
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         MultiValue          null
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         MultiValue     0   JIM-BOB
0001 MARY SMITH  kids         MultiValue     1   HARRY
0002 JANE JONES  married   SingleValue   0   TRUE
0002 JANE JONES  kids         SingleValue        null
0002 JANE JONES  kids         SingleValue   0   JENNY
{code}
